Chapter 385 - Execution!
Another 20 minutes passed as the team whittled down the Blackett Grizzly’s health.
This was the toughest boss Asskickers United had ever faced. The Warriors at the front suffered heavy losses. The backline didn’t remain unscathed either. The Blackett Grizzly’s Dark Roar was too hard to avoid, and although the damage wasn’t high, it was more than enough to sweep away the fragile casters.
Several Priests were busily working away. They weren’t tasked with healing but rather purifying the corpses scattered on the ground. They simply had to, lest they wanted the Blackett Grizzly to keep healing from Corpse Eater.
Even if levels had to be sacrificed, there was no other alternative.
Finally, the Blackett Grizzly’s health had fallen to 12%.
Everyone on the battlefield felt mentally drained. The tense and strenuous battle with the Blackett Grizzly wore heavily on their nerves.
The Blackett Grizzly was still as vigorous as ever. Without warning, it charged past Resplendent Bladelight, knocking him aside and rushing towards the backline.
The Mages quickly scattered, but several of them failed to get out of the way in time. In their final moments, they watched the Blackett Grizzly’s giant paws coming down on them.
The Blackett Grizzly slaughtered Mages left and right with its reckless charge, leaving a trail of corpses in its wake.
Nie Yan quickly ordered the Mages to retreat, calling for a squad of reserve Fighters to block the boss.
There were already almost 70 Mages dead on the ground. If things continued at this rate, they would be wiped out completely!
The Fighters charged up one by one to stop the boss. The Blackett Grizzly slowed down, but continued to slap every challenger into the distance.
It was useless no matter what Nie Yan did. Trying to come back from this hopeless situation was nearly impossible. He could only pray the Fighters could stop the Blackett Grizzly.
Bladelight had suffered heavy injuries. He was still in an incapacitated state after being sent flying by the Blackett Grizzly.
The Blackett Grizzly was unstoppable! No one could take even one hit!
At this moment, Lofty Shadow rushed up from the side and slammed his Mammoth Greatshield into the Blackett Grizzly.
Greatshield Bash!
Heroic Strike!
Demoralizing Shout!
Lofty Shadow let out a deep penetrating roar. He repeatedly struck the Blackett Grizzly to get its attention.「Klang!」A paw swipe sent him skidding back.
Just as the Blackett Grizzly was about to resume massacring the Mages, Lofty Shadow rushed back up with a Charge.
Taunt!
Lofty Shadow had finally attracted the Blackett Grizzly’s aggro.「Klang! Klang! Klang!」It repeatedly battered his shield with savage zeal.
Lofty Shadow bought enough time for Yi Yan to catch up. Bladelight had also recovered and immediately charged back into the fray. The three of them worked together to secure the Blackett Grizzly’s aggro once more. Even though it was slowly recovering its health, they weren’t anxious. Eating the tofu hot would only scald the tongue. When they built up enough aggro, it would be safe for the Mages to resume dealing damage.
The Warriors once more started encircling the Blackett Grizzly.
The Mages breathed a sigh of relief. With their lives no longer in danger, they hurried back into position.
Nie Yan also thanked his lucky stars that he had three such outstanding Fighters. Most guilds and teams would be fortunate to have one reliable main tank, who stood far above their peers whether in terms of skill or gear quality. This was why whenever the main tank encountered a mishap, there was little that could be done to salvage the situation and a wipe would become inevitable.
For ordinary guilds and teams, having so many top-ranked players gathered together was simply unimaginable.
